Online Voting

Introduction

This page gives a brief description of the online voting system. The system is currently up on MyAFRINIC. However, the page content, i.e. instructions and confirmation messages have not yet been included. This will cover:

Basic navigation

Proxy generation via the MyAFRINIC interface.

Voting online via the MyAFRINIC interface

Navigation

Currently, all contacts can access the Elections tab.

The 'Elections' menu has two links:

'Information': This will display information about the election.

'Access Election Center: This sends the user to a page where he/she will be able to select whether he/she wants to generate a proxy or vote online.

At the back

NB.When the user selects the 'Access Election Center' link, they are presented with the Choice Page. From that page the user must select the election in which they wish to participate.

Upon selecting the election, the user is now presented now with the following three options 'Appoint Proxy', 'Vote Online' and 'Vote Onsite'.

If a member already has a proxy, he/she is redirected to the page that shows the proxy names and organizations. If they choose 'Vote Online', then they are redirected to the 'Vote Online' section where they can cast their vote.

The 'Vote Onsite' option allows them to receive a paper ballot before the AGMM starts.

Please Note: You cannot access the 'Elections' page if you are in arrears. You need to clear any balance due before you can vote.
